About the Book
A limited edition book of 90 collages containing images of flowers and plants, diary entries, drawings, and photographs that chart the course of a summer in the artist's life. Coggins finds beauty and solace in the Edenesque gardens and woods of the longtime family country home. Eden is about connection to place and nature, the camaraderie of family and friends, and the solitude of the studio.
The Eden collages were made in the summer of 2004. The flowers and plants are from Pine Lake and Minneapolis. The original collages are printed on a variety of papers, including newsprint, hotel stationery, and old student notebooks.
